Tracks: Bluebird Wine Too Far Gone If I Could Only Win Your Love Boulder To Birmingham Before Believing Bottle Let Me Down Sleepless Nights Coat Of Many Colors For No One Queen Of The Silver Dollar About The Record: Pieces of the Sky, by American country music artist Emmylou Harris, became the album that launched Harris' career and is widely considered to be her debut. In those intervening years she had forged a musical relationship with Gram Parsons that would alter the musical direction that her career would take. The album includes Harris' first high-charting Billboard country hit, the No. 4 If I Could Only Win Your Love, and the relatively low-charting No. 73 Too Far Gone (originally a 1967 hit for Tammy Wynette). The overall song selection was varied and showed early on how eclectic Harris' musical tastes were. In addition to her own Boulder to Birmingham (written for former singing partner Parsons, who had died the previous year), she included the Merle Haggard classic The Bottle Let Me Down, the Beatles' For No One, and Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors. (Parton, in turn, covered Boulder to Birmingham on her 1976 album All I Can Do.) On Shel Silverstein's Queen Of The Silver Dollar, her friend and occasional collaborator Linda Ronstadt sings harmony. The album rose as far as the #7 spot in the Billboard country albums chart. A reviewer on allmusic.com said, "Pieces of the Sky is bravely eclectic, impeccably performed, and achingly beautiful."
